Are Your Plants or Lawn Being Attacked by the Japanese Beetle Bug?

If your grass has random brown patches, or leaves on your trees look like someone attacked them with a scissors, chances are you can point the finger at Japanese beetles.

In the past five years, this hungry pest has rampaged into Waukesha County, southeast Wisconsin and northern Illinois. Japanese beetles consume on more than three hundred plants. Rose bushes and grape vines are among their top targets.

Japanese beetles are about a half-inch in size. Their metallic-green bodies are partly covered by bronze-colored wings. They attack devour trees and plants with abandon, leaving “skeletonized” leaves that resemble sewing lace. The bugs eat only the material between the veins.

Japanese beetles are the most far-ranging turf-grass pest in the U.S. - including Waukesha County. Adults bore into grass to lay eggs. The hatched grubs in the lawn devour the roots of grasses and other plants. Brown tracks or large spots result.
